Imagine using this energy for actually productive change, over being angry that you’re being slightly inconvenienced.

Pretty much what happened is it wasn’t advertised that you would need an epic games account to play the multiplayer, and people are angry about it for some reason. Likely because it’s Epic, not because they had to make an account, though knowing Gamers they probably would be pissed about about having to make an account outside of steam too.

And it’s funny because the one discord server I usually hang out on that has pretty chuddy people on it largely had a reaction of “Sure it sucks, but there’s a lot bigger fish to fry in the games industry.”

Like I get it, but the way I see it is that this is being blown way out of proportion and making them look like manchildren because they were being only slightly inconvenienced.

Yeah, that’s going to be a

From me dawg.

As someone who’s privacy conscious, making a whole new account on a third party and linking it to my active steam account isn’t just being “slightly inconvenienced”. Especially in this case where it wasn’t disclosed on the steam store page. Leaving a negative review seems completely proportional.

Leaving a negative review is different from a coordinated campaign of review-bombing

This isn’t a coordinated campaign of review-bombing, and if it was it’s the dumbest one of all time. It just launched on steam today so for it to be coordinated, people would have to be buying the game just to leave a negative review. It’s not like there was already a huge playerbase that’s now mad.
